On last Saturday quito a breeze of excite
ment was raised on the streets when the
Information was given out that Mr.. Jos.
Lemle and Charles and VIM. Connela had
been arrested on the charge of burning the
stores of p. w. Hilton and julius Lemle
on the Esd of last January, At the time no
clue could be had as to the guilty parties
and the grand jury was unable to find
bill. The facts leading up to the arrests. as
far as we could learn, are as follows: 1t
seems that two brothers named MCGOWAN
are implicated and that one of them has
lately been living in the State of Arkansas.
Not long since this MCGOWAN, in mood OF
confidential conviviality, impaired his Sc
cret to a friend and it got to tho ears of a
friend OF Mr.. J. p. Parker who lived in the
same neighborhood with McGowan. Mr..
Parker's friend at once wrote him the facts
as he had learned them and Mr.. Parker got
a commission as deputy sheriff and the
necessary requisition papers and accompa-
MED by Mr.. John Ransom proceeded to
Arkansas to arrest MCGOWAN. This he sue
ceeded in doing and brought MCGOWAN
here. At the time .of the arrest, SO it is
alleged, MCGOWAN made a confession inn
plicating tho two Connel1as and Lemle.
AS soon as Mr.. Parker returned the arrests
here were made and the accused gave bond
pending preliminary examination. Judge
Richardson fl xed last Wednesday for hold
ing the preliminary trial but examination
was waved and the accused, with the cx-
ception of MCGOWAN, who turned States
evidence, were released under bond, Lem
les bond being fixed at $4,000 and the Con
nellas at $1,000 each.
We will not give any portion of the state
ments we have heard bearing on the case
for the reason that the accused are yet t.
have their trial before the courts.

The New Orleans States of Nov. 3Oth
says: '"rhe scholarly attachments of Mr..
Geo. G. Min served him we'll in his as
sumption of the role of Hamlet, and he was
seen at his best last night. He has devo-
ted deep study to the character, and it is
no exaggeration to say that under his in-
telligent and natural interpretation, new
beauties were disclosed in the presentation
of the familiar passages. It was thorough.
we'll digested, careful consideration of
Hamlet, emphasized by strong dramatic
action; and the distinguished gentleman
was rewarded with repeated calls before

Whatever opinions may exist concerning
his other roles, there is unanimity in the

Hamlet, which is entitled to rank among
the:best creations of the role on the stage.
